James Bond’s golden gun

Almost a Stoic.

Ghanaians struggle with measurements. They can’t estimate the size of a 30 cm pizza or the length of 500 meters. So it’s no surprise they also struggle to grasp the value of $10,000.

You can always tell who got the PhD because they are genuinely curious about the world and specific problems and those who got it for the ego boost.

Again, we need to stop this silly obsession with degrees.

If you aren't going into academia or research.

You don't need a PhD.

Chale, learning new stuff is what makes me happy.

Your definition of success reflects where and how you grew up. All that paper chasing will not fill the emptiness inside you.

The Global Info Analytics account is now the face of statistics in Ghana. They keep posting these polls and percentages but with no data transparency. Yet everyone seems to be eating it up.

E be worrying fokn.

You people want marriage and kids, so the people you partner with only become a means to that end.

That’s why you confidently say, "I can do this for my wife/husband but not my girlfriend/boyfriend," without even pausing to realize how stupid that sounds.

The idea that your worth as a person is tied to how much money you make should annoy you. It should not motivate you to "hustle hard."

Do I need a PhD, or do I just need a girlfriend?

I’m so left, I don't even swipe right on Tinder.

The biggest source of power imbalance between couples is money, not age.

The wisdom of repugnance/yuck factor. The problem with this is the assumption that any practice that makes us uncomfortable is immoral.

[Maayaa @delmiyaa]

When some of us point out that certain age gaps in relationships are weird even if the younger person is legally an adult, some people call it infantilization. But it shouldn’t be okay for a 38 year old woman to date and be pregnant for a 23 year old man. It’s predatory behavior.

"I'm great, and everyone else in the dating pool is the problem." Keep telling yourselves that.

[Renè The Leader ❤ @Rene_noire]

The dating scene is crazy. How are you guys coping????

[James Bond’s golden gun @kwesi_win]

A woman instantly becomes unattractive to me when I see her praying for marriage. Weird.

There’s nothing to build in the first place.

I’ve never understood “coming back to do something/ contribute”

[James Bond’s golden gun @kwesi_win]

Not every young person who left Ghana represents a loss to the country. Those who had no clear direction or meaningful impact were never essential to its progress. They do not have to come back to help build anything.

[James Bond’s golden gun @kwesi_win]

It has to feel this way, or I don’t want it.

[James Bond’s golden gun @kwesi_win]

I think they both describe very well the human condition. We have such limited knowledge, and based on this incomplete knowledge, we must make decisions about career, family, relationships, etc and hope that it all works out.

Phew. It’s like we’ve been set up to fail.
